PRESCHOOLER's Inquiry about Food Choices




As part of the Preschooler's wonderings about CHOICES, they did a survey to find out DSKI Grade 1-6 student's food choices.

 

They worked with a partner and and wrote tally marks to represent each count.

 

Then, they filled in the bar graph to visually represent and compare things between the food groups. 
Note: Might not be the actual numbers but for preschooler's survey purpose only.

We put together the results and they found out that....
  • A lot of DSKI students like fruits
  • Students like dairy because some are sweet
  • The least favourite food group is vegetables
  • No one in grade 3 likes vegetables

To gain a deeper understanding on the importance of the different food groups, they also played a game "What's on my Plate?. This activity helped them understand what a balanced and healthy meal looks like. 

 

Finally, the preschoolers were given the task to decide and choose their own healthy and balanced meal by filling in their own "What's on my Plate" chart.

 

 

 

 


It would be great if they will prepare the meal and try it out with the whole family at home! 

Finally, this month Preschooler's hosted the School Assembly and here is their video connected to our Unit on Choices. Enjoy!!

Growth

This week we continue inquiring about our personal histories.  How much have we changed from when we were born to present. We posted the baby photos of all the preschoolers side by side with their current photos.  The students and teachers at school will guess, using the photos and looking for similarities who the preschoolers are.  We will then use these experiment to find out more about the concept of 'change' and 'development' in our unit.  We have also started collecting the pot flower that show the different milestones we have accomplished growing up.  They will talk about their personal stories to all the students in class.  We identified land and water forms and they realized that the water area is so much bigger than the land area!  As part of their history, we also have looked at the map and located the country they were born. From this, we looked at the bigger land area which is the continents that make up the land forms.  We identified ...

A week of celebration

This was a week of celebration.  We were able to watch the students performed their best during the Winter Concert at the MPR.  They danced and sang the Christmas Songs with confidence and pride.  At our Christmas Market, the preschoolers did their assigned responsibilities attentively.  They sat at the table and encouraged everyone to have their pictures taken at our *Perky Picture Perfect* booth.      A reason why ALL the preschoolers were on the nice list and got their presents from Santa!                Big smiles with Santa after receiving their presents. and we are all ready for our Christmas Break!  Enjoy our video,  A celebration of growth and change!   

How The World Works

PRESCHOOL ASSEMBLY What a beautiful way to end our unit on celebration, to start a new unit on growth, and to connect it to our unit on imagination. As we begin our new unit on how the world works, the preschool students went around the school premises to list down living things that they saw around them.  As their curiosity kicked in they got so excited and started thinking exactly what living things are.  At first, some characteristics they mentioned about living things were: move  eat drink grow drive cars talk take a bath more But what really is the difference between living and non-living things?  Back in the classroom, we revisited their list and narrowed down the characteristics of living things into these important traits: they eat and drink (food and water) they grow or change they reproduce (make new living things) They agreed that even if something is moving (like robots or cars) it doesn't mean that they are living things. Trees do not move but they eat, ...
